"I truly love being a pediatrician. The most important thing in my life is the health of my two children and I cannot think of anything more satisfying than working daily to help to preserve the health of children of all ages in my community. I find it especially gratifying caring for children in the area that I grew up in, San Diego's East County. For undergraduate studies, I attended the University of California, Berkeley. The rest of my training was local at UCSD Medical School with my pediatric residency at Rady Children's Hospital. I strive to provide high quality care and exceptional service to all of my patients and families. In my spare time, you'll find me with my wife and two sons, traveling or enjoying all that San Diego has to offer."

Being a pediatrician gives meaning to my life. I’ve learned that all families want what is best for their children and I am honored to help and guide in that process. I have a special interest in health education, parenting and promoting vaccinations for children. In my free time I enjoy writing children’s picture books, weaving, yoga and spending time with my family.
